“Greater workplace transparency is essential to helping connect the right people with the right companies,” Robert Hohman, Glassdoor CEO & co-founder. “Today’s workforce no longer prefers, but expects to have access to the information they want to make the most informed job and career decisions as possible. With the Employees’ Choice Awards, we’re proud to help people find jobs they love by highlighting companies that receive authentic endorsements from those who know the company best – their employees.”
